MODE :
The BIOS on the mainboard is the updated one and which provides three different
modes to support both normal IDE HDD and the one which is above 528MB:
Ø
NORMAL : For IDE hard disk drives which is smaller than 528MB.
Ø
LBA
: For IDE hard disk drive which is above 528MB (ideally, it can be as big
as 8.4GB ) that use Logic Block Addressing (LBA) mode.
Ø
Large
: For IDE HDD which is above 528MB and does not support LBA mode.
Ø
Auto
: This mode will auto-detect your IDE driver during boot-up.
Note
:
1. “large mode” may not be fully supported by all operation systems.
It is suggested to be used with the MS-DOS but such hard disk drive
is not very popular nowadays.
2. Some certain operation systems ( such as SCO®-UNIX™ ),
only "NORMAL mode" is allowed when installation.)
Floppy 3 Mode Support:
(Default setting: disabled )
This mode is for the Japanese 3.5 inch high capacity floppy disk drive. If you have
such drive installed in your PC system, please select enable, otherwise, use the default
setting.
